Today, we are going to take a look on a girl, who is Russian Kim Kardashian, a queen of Photoshop and much more famous than these girls, who have been on this blog so far – Anastasiya Kvitko.
24-year-old model was born on the 25th of November 1994 in Kaliningrad oblast, a piece of Russia that is situated between Lithuania and Poland, cut off from Russian mainland by these countries. She lived in an ordinary apartment building with her parents, she loved to draw and sew clothes. After graduating the school, she was already preparing to start her studies to become a designer, but life had other plans for her.
Nastya’s modelling career started in 2011, when well-known photographer Anvar Norov found Anastasiya’s pictures on VK. He was impressed by her unusual figure, and wanted to take pictures of her. Young girl of course accepted his invite to shoot photos, and these photos became the base of her modelling portfolio. After this photo-shoot with Anvar Narov, she got some more offers for modelling and in 2013 she decided it’s time to leave behind Kaliningrad and move to the city of all opportunities – Moscow.
While living in Moscow, she participated in many small projects and worked on her modelling career. In August 2014 came the biggest breakthrough – Anastasiya made herself an Instagram account, which opened up a new way to reach the whole world. She gained thousands of new followers daily. However, not even Moscow could offer her everything she wanted. From her Instagram comments, she noticed that a big part of her fan-base in located in the USA. Luckily, in the end of the year 2015, Anastasiya got a job offer from Kanye West Clothing, and in January 2016, she was already happily living in Miami. Her agency in Miami suggested her to lose some weight, but she refused. In the middle of 2016, she left Miami and moved to Los Angeles. In LA she started dating a Russian millionaire Arseni Sharov, who is crazily loves all Russian show-business girls.
Among all her other achievements in 2016 you can also see a music video for IAMCHINO – Ay Mi Dios ft Pitbull & Yandel y Chacaland the third place in Maxim “The Sexiest Russian Women” list. Today she is living a lavish life, traveling around, and modelling for FashionNova, PrettyLittleThing and other typical clothing brands of Instagram butt-models.
Talking about her bottom – Anastasiya says that her body with the parameters of 95-64-104 is all natural and only surgery she has ever got done is removing her appendix. Only thing that supports the first part of this claim, is that her early photos were taken when she was 17 years old. Getting such surgeries in 2010 in Kaliningrad, while being underage and not from a rich family, is quite an achievement. Still, it is quite impossible for a Northern-Eastern European woman to have such a figure just by the combination of nature and gym.
Comparing her before and after pictures, you can notice that her breast and buttocks size grew a lot very fast. The upper part of Anastasiya’s butt shows clearly, it is not natural, because the way how her back goes over to bum, is usual for latinas and black women, but definitely not for slavic women. From paparazzi pictures, where Anastasiya shows off her feminine figure, you can see also that she has got some work done on her stomach, which either has not been a good-quality work or she has messed something up with aftercare.
“I have not done any surgeries on my face,” is something you can hear by many Instagram beauties, and in case of Anastasiya, it might be true. Her before and after pictures and videos don’t show a big difference in her facial features. She might have injected some hyaluronic acid or botox, and changed her make-up look, but no new nose, sharper cheeks, smaller chin or anything similar. Impressive, considering, how her body looks.
In last paragraph, I mentioned also her videos, because talking about Anastasiya’s looks, it is very important to pay attention to them. Retouching videos is not easy, which means that in her videos, she usually has her natural face, not the one that has seen hours of Facetune and other apps for retouching.
Of course, Nastya claims, she doesn’t use Photoshop, because she is so perfect, she doesn’t want to change anything about herself, and this is something that makes her stand out from all other Instagram celebrities (these are the actual reasons she has said in an interview). However, reality is completely different. Her Instagram photos are retouched a lot! She changes her body, skin color and texture, nose, eyes, and much more. From videos (like this one, for example), you can see that she takes care of herself, talks sweetly and definitely doesn’t look ugly, so I just think she is not really photogenic.
Even though Anastasiya’s looks, lifestyle and fame are not comparable to other Russian social media influencers, she has many similar traits to other girls. Like most of them, Anastasiya denies any surgery, pretends she was born this way, and acts like her success-story was almost accidental. In one interview, Anastasiya was asked, how she got so popular, and she answered that it’s actually nothing special, because she likes taking selfies and sharing her photos.
One of her amazing traits that has got her that far and we all should master is being super confident. Seriously. She doesn’t look for validation on social media, she puts herself there, so other people can admire her. When she is compared to Kim Kardashian, she is like “Kim is cute, but have you seen me?”. She truly believes that one day she is more famous than Kim K. herself. Right now Anastasiya is 115,5 million followers behind the Kardashian sister, but as she said “it’s a matter of time when I will be recognised more often than Kim”.
